Does anyone remember "Aur Bhi Gam Hain Zamane Mein"
"Bibi Natiyon Wali";"Vikram aur Waitaal"
"Katha Sagar"
and Vinod Dua's "Aap Aur Hum"...he was awesome.

There was another one our hot favourite as kids on Sunday Mornings..it was a german Game Show with two teams competing in Fun Games..something like "Teleplay "..does anyone remeber the name

HelloG, I do remember Bibi Natiyon Wali....it had an old lady in glasses always cribbing !

Vinod Dua was (and Is) awesome !
Katha Sagar, wasnt it by the same guys who gave us "Gul Gulshan Gulfam" and "Junoon" ?

An advertisement that appeared only on Bombay doordarshan - IIRC

The same old faces, the same old food
The same old homework, the same old news
But something special, on an ordinary dayyyy
A Tango in your hand, a smile on your face and _____ the world is a much better space, with Tango Tango Tango - have it everyday

Besides the 'old fox', Star trek was quite a hit. I remember how all the kids used to wait for sunday 11.00 hrs, for the serial to be telecast .
